Sauk County Board to accept property tax payments late due to weather

Certain tax payments that would normally be late will get a break due to the Post Office being affected by inclement weather.

The Sauk County Board unanimously approved a proposal to accept property tax payments as on time if they were postmarked by Feb. 1. The request was one of many to go before the board on Feb. 19.

Normally tax payments postmarked as Feb. 1 or later are considered delinquent and can be subject to late fees. However, this year the Post Office was hindered by severe winter weather, which interrupted mail deliveries.
